Minnesota Congressman John Kline Endorses Marco Rubio for President
Today, Minnesota Congressman John Kline endorsed Marco Rubio for President. Congressman Kline is the latest conservative leader who understands there is only one candidate that will be able to inspire the nation, unite the party, and defeat Hillary Clinton.
Congressman Kline represents Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, where he has been a strong conservative voice in the House since first being elected in 2003. Kline serves as the Chairman of the House Education Committee, and is a member of the House Committee on Armed Services. During his time in Congress, Kline has been a leading advocate for choice in education, a strong national defense, and fiscal conservatism. Kline is a retied Marine Colonel with a distinguished military career. Congressman Kline was the senior military aide responsible for carrying President Ronald Reagan's "nuclear football."
“Marco Rubio offers bold and conservative plans to the challenges our country faces today which is why I am proud to endorse him for President,” said Representative John Kline. “After the failures of the past seven years, Republicans need to get behind a candidate that will govern as a conservative but can also win a general election, and Marco Rubio is that candidate."
“As a member of the Marine Corps for 25 years, I understand the most important job of a president is keeping our country safe and standing with the men and women who serve,” Rep. Kline continued. “I know Marco Rubio has the skills, intelligence and leadership capabilities to be a strong Commander-in-Chief that will protect our country at home and make sure we are strong abroad.”
“I was privileged to have the opportunity to work for Ronald Reagan, whose vision about the greatness of America and the American Dream inspired so many. Marco Rubio has that same vision, and with him as President, I know he will make sure that the American Dream can continue to be passed down to future generations of Americans,” Kline concluded.
“Our campaign is honored to have earned the endorsement of Representative Kline, whose military leadership and work on behalf of Minnesotans is unparalleled,” said Jeremy Adler, regional spokesman for the Rubio campaign. “Across the country, conservatives are recognizing that Marco is the one candidate that can unify the Republican Party and win in November, which is why so many are rallying behind our campaign."
